The Cold Moon
The Cold Moon is the traditional name given to the full moon that occurs in December, typically around the winter solstice. This lunar event is also known as the Long Nights Moon, Moon Before Yule, Oak Moon, and Wolf Moon, depending on the cultural and linguistic context.
Yule, an ancient Germanic winter festival, was incorporated into the Christian celebration of Christmas during the Christianization of the Germanic peoples. The Christian feast of Christmas, originally celebrated on January 6 (Epiphany), was moved to December 25 to coincide with the existing pagan Yule festival.
Synonyms: Today, “Yule” and “Yuletide” are often used interchangeably with “Christmas” and “Christmastide”. However, while Christmas specifically refers to the Christian celebration of Jesus’ birth, Yule retains some of its original pagan connotations and associations with the winter solstice.
